Visualizing Linguistic Big Data for Deeper Insights
“We selected CARTO because we wanted an experience that was world-class. When our customers use anything, starting with the free, general map on the site, we wanted them to say, this works like a top tier application, like a Google Map. And that’s what we’ve had from CARTO, and it works well.”
